Make/ Model	length	Year	Numbers (Quantity Ordered)	Engine/ Transmission	Fuel Propulsion	Operators	Notes
NABI 31-LFW	40'	1998	6001-6156 (156 buses)	Cummins C8.3G Allison B400R5 Gen-III	CNG	Veolia-Phoenix	These buses were the first LNG-powered production buses in Phoenix. Buses 6001-6029 have different number fonts and speaker locations, while buses 6030-6156 have "standard" speaker locations. Bus 6001 had a wheelchair sign but it was removed, bus 6002 has a wheelchair sign, and bus 6003 has space for a wheelchair sign but it was never installed. Buses 6071-6085 were leased to the RPTA from 2005 until 2006. Buses 6141-6156 have all lengthwise seating. In 2006, these buses have been rehabilitated with the 2006 paint scheme, new Luminator LEDot signs, new seat cushions, and new windows. Currently, these buses operate out of the Veolia-Phoenix South Division. Until March 2014, some of these buses also operated out of the First Transit-Phoenix West Division; these buses have since been retired and replaced by the 2014 New Flyer C40LFRs.
NABI 31-LFW	40'	1999	6211-6245 (35 buses)	Cummins C8.3G Allison B400R5 Gen-III	CNG	Veolia-Phoenix	These buses are different from the 1998 Veolia-Phoenix 40-LFWs in the fact that they have Twin Vision LEDot signs, a slightly different front end, a wheelchair lift sign in the rear, slightly different flooring, TSI seating (rather than American Seating), and different speakers. Some of these buses have been rehabilitated with the 2006 color scheme, new windows, and new seat cushions. By the end of 2011, one bus in this group (6236) had been retired..
New Flyer D60	40'	2001	4164-4172 (9 buses)	Cummins-Westport C Gas Plus 8.3L Allison B400R5 Gen-III	CNG	First Transit-Phoenix	These buses were built and operate the Copper Square DASH (Downtown Area SHuttle) service in Downtown Phoenix, and are painted with a copper and black color scheme. During the first Friday of each month, these buses used to operate the Artlink First Friday service around the trendy Roosevelt Row district of downtown Phoenix (although service by Roosevelt Row became permanent July 28, new FTA regulations halted the use of these buses in private shuttle service). These buses feature TwinVision Amber LED signs, new blue tinted windows, and a rear wheelchair sign (but no driver side sign). Inside they feature the same hard seats as the 1998 Phoenix-operated 40-LFW buses, as well as smooth (as opposed to glossy) ceilings. These buses were rehabbed and repainted into a blue-green scheme (along with new windows and seat cushions) in 2008. These buses were reassigned to the West (First Transit) division in January 2013 for the 19th Avenue Connector shuttle.
NABI 31-LFW	40'	2002	6282-6377 (95 buses)	Cummins-Westport C Gas Plus 8.3L Allison B400R5 Gen-III	CNG	Veolia-Phoenix	These buses are similar to 6001-6156, but have TwinVision Amber LED signs, a rear wheelchair sign, the same front end as on the 1999 40-LFW buses, blue tinted windows, and a different number font. Inside they have "screwed-in" and welded walls as well as carpeted rear walls. One bus was lost to fire on December 29, 2008. Bus 6291 was retrofitted in 2004 with TwinVision Chroma IV multi-color signs. As a result, this bus operates during the summer and winter of each year as the "Flag Bus" and "Holiday Bus" respectively, because the multi-color signs can display special festive readings. During the spring and fall, this bus remains in the green and purple Valley Metro colors, but with the new seat cushions. One of these buses was destroyed by fire. Bus 6377 has an Allison B400R5 Gen-IV Transmission.
NABI 31-LFW	40'	2002	6378-6381 (4 buses)	Cummins-Westport C Gas Plus 8.3L Allison B400R5 Gen-III	CNG	First Transit-RPTA	These buses are owned by the City of Tempe and operated for Veolia-Tempe until July 1, 2013 when the City of Tempe unified its bus operations with the RPTA. They are the most recent 40-LFW buses built for Valley Metro. These buses were delivered in the green and purple Valley Metro colors as opposed to the BOLT colors, but still have a BOLT interior. These buses were originally built with TwinVision Amber LED signs but they were replaced with Luminator Horizon signs in 2007. They have no advertisements both on the exterior and interior. Windows are much less tinted than those of the 2002 Phoenix-operated 40-LFW buses. Inside they are similar to buses 6173-6180, but have glossy light gray side walls (below the window line) and a glossy light gray rear wall, as well as different number font. Bus 6379 has been repainted in the 2006 colors. These buses are expected to be retired by December 2013 and replaced by 2013 model New Flyer C40LFR buses.
New Flyer C40LF	40'	2003	7101-7123 (23 buses)	Detroit Diesel Series 50G 8.5L Allison B500R5 Gen-III	CNG	Veolia-Phoenix	These were the first 45C-LFW "CompoBuses" ever produced, and have a composite carbon fiber design. These buses only operate Phoenix RAPID routes, and are painted in the green and silver RAPID livery. They have TwinVision signs and sealed, lightly tinted windows. Inside, they have highback reclining seats with adjustable headrests, dark gray walls, personal reading lights, air vents, and luggage racks. Until July 2012, the lower-numbered buses operated on the I-10 West RAPID service, which is run by First Transit. However, in July 2012, those buses were reassigned to Veolia-Phoenix.
New Flyer C40LF	40'	2004	7124-7156 (33 buses)	Detroit Diesel Series 50G 8.5L Allison B500R5 Gen-III	CNG	Veolia-Phoenix	These buses are identical to 7101-7123 but were delivered with the Route Scout system as opposed to 7101-7123 (which were delivered with the prior "Stop Requested" front sign and no automatic stop announcements). They also operate RAPID service.
New Flyer C40LF	40'	2004	7157-7164 (8 buses)	Detroit Diesel Series 50G 8.5L Allison B500R5 Gen-III	CNG	First Transit-RPTA	These buses are owned by the City of Tempe and operated for Veolia-Tempe until July 1, 2013 when the City of Tempe unified its bus operations with the RPTA. They are painted in the green and purple Valley Metro colors (as opposed to the RAPID colors as on 7101-7156) and normally operate Tempe express routes 520 and 521. On very rare occasions outside of rush hours, these buses operate in Tempe local service. These buses have opening tinted windows, different highback reclining seats without headrests, light gray interiors, personal reading lights and air vents, and luggage racks.
New Flyer C40LF	60'	2004	8001-8020 (20 buses)	Detroit Diesel Series 50 EGR 8.5L Allison B500R5 Gen-III	CNG	Veolia-Phoenix	These buses were the first D60LFs operated by Valley Metro and the first New Flyer buses since 1996. Due to a change in Arizona state law that considered ultra-low-sulfur diesel as an acceptable fuel for transit vehicles (from 1996-2004 all transit vehicles 30' and greater had to be powered by either CNG, LNG, or propane), Valley Metro was able to purchase articulated buses as at the time there was no LNG-powered articulated bus on the market. These buses do not have noticeably tinted windows, and also have TwinVision Amber LED signs, but starting with this order (and all subsequent orders) the driver's side LED sign was no longer a feature. These buses also have new floors and seats, but have the same beige and dark gray walls and ceiling as the earlier D40LF buses. Unlike the later D60LF buses, they lack a roof-mounted strobe light. These buses were the first to be delivered with Route Scout, but it was not activated until 2005. Originally, these buses were mostly used on the Red Line and busy Phoenix crosstown routes, but since January 2008 they mostly operated on the Red Line and route 70. Since the Red Line was discontinued most of them operate on busy north-south routes and Route 50-Camelback on occasion. This order was a joint order with Lane Transit District of Eugene, Oregon, who ordered five D60LFs built with identical specifications that were delivered at the same time as the Valley Metro order.
NABI 40-LFW	40'	2006	5008-5014 (7 buses)	Cummins ISB 5.9L Allison B300R5 Gen-IV	CNG	Ollie the Trolley	These buses are owned by the city of Scottsdale and are nearly identical to buses 5001-5007. As of February 2014, several of these buses have been retired.
NABI 40C-LFW	40'	2006	6401-6452 (52 buses)	John Deere 6081H 8.1L CNG Engine ZF Ecomat 4 6HP594C	CNG	First Transit-RPTA	These were the first C40LFRs placed in service in the United States, as well as the first buses to wear the 2006 Valley Metro livery and have the updated RPTA interior. These buses can be found on nearly every RPTA-operated route based at the Mesa facility. These buses were part of a joint order with Atlanta's MARTA system, which ordered similar buses around the same time. Inside, these buses feature dark blue tinted windows, USSC "Aries" passenger seating with blue seat inserts, and a white corrugated vandal-resistant interior similar to that on Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority buses. In the summer of 2008, buses 6401-6410 were transferred to Veolia-Tempe, although the RPTA still owned the buses. Because these buses cannot be fueled at the Tempe facility, in December 2008 6401-6410 were transferred back to the RPTA Mesa facility in exchange for 2008 C40LFRs (which can be fueled at the Tempe facility).
Orion V	60'	2006	8501-8510 (10 buses)	Cummins-Westport L Gas Plus 8.8L Allison B500R6 Gen-IV	Diesel	First Transit-RPTA	These 10 buses were originally ordered for East Valley express service (routes 531-533 and 540-541) but when service frequency increased to accommodate 40-foot buses, some of these buses were put onto busy crosstown routes such as route 30-University, route 61-Southern, and (since July 28, 2008) route 45-Broadway. In addition, these buses do still provide some express service. These buses were part of a Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority order, and were built to similar specifications. However, unlike the LACMTA buses, they have TwinVision LED amber signs, a different A/C unit, blue rather than "rainbow" seat inserts, blue tinted windows, and no Transit TV. Interior and exterior safety notices, however, are identical to those of LACMTA. These buses are in the 2006 Valley Metro color scheme.
NABI 45C-LFW	40'	2007	6453-6456 (4 buses)	Cummins ISL 8.9L ZF Ecomat 4 6HP594C	CNG	First Transit-RPTA	These four buses are similar to 6401-6452, but have no rooftop CNG tank (the fuel tank is located under the three seats across from the rear door instead), lighter blue tinted windows, all lengthwise seating in the low-floor section, four wheelchair positions (as opposed to three), and more LED lighting. These buses were part of an order for VIA Metropolitan Transit in San Antonio. These buses originally operated out of the RPTA Mesa facility until late July 2013 when they were transferred to the Tempe facility as part of the unification of Tempe bus operations with the RPTA.
NABI 45C-LFW	40'	2007	6457-6460, 6481-6500 (24 buses)	Cummins ISL 8.9L ZF Ecomat 4 6HP594C	CNG	First Transit-RPTA, Valu Trans	These buses are similar to 6453-6456, but have the "standard" seating configuration in the low floor section, and have highback non-reclining USSC "Aries" seats with headrests (only forward-facing seats). These "semi-suburban" buses do not have luggage racks or personal air vents/reading lights. As a result, these buses can be used on both local and express routes. These buses were also part of the order for VIA Metropolitan Transit in San Antonio. The gap between 6460 and 6481 is filled by the Nova Bus RTWFD82 buses. 6457-6460 and 6481-6483 are operated by First Transit-RPTA on local routes in the East Valley and operated out of the RPTA Mesa facility until late July 2013 when all buses except 6457 were transferred over to Valu Trans in the West Valley, while 6457 was transferred over to the Tempe facility as part of the unification of Tempe bus operations with the RPTA.
NABI 45C-LFW	40'	2007	6501-6596 (96 buses)	Cummins ISL 8.9L Allison B400R6 Gen-IV	CNG	First Transit-Phoenix, Veolia-Phoenix	These buses were delivered in the new color scheme, and also have a grille over the engine to prevent overheating. However, they have the original D40LF design rather than the restyled front and rear design present on the D40LFR buses. Unlike the D40LFRs, these buses have their rear door three (instead of four) positions back from the front door to allow easier loading and unloading with the wheelchair ramp (which is located in the rear), and this is the same position as on the 1994 and 1996 D40LF buses. These buses have the same flooring, seating type, and walls/ceiling as the 2004 D60LF buses, but they have new seat cushions, new light gray advertising racks with brighter lighting, different number font, and new windows. Originally, buses 6501-6553 were operated by First Transit, while buses 6554-6596 were operated by Veolia-Phoenix, but these buses have been moved around between the two divisions since then.
New Flyer C40LF	40'	2007	8021-8050 (30 buses)	Caterpillar C9 ACERT 9.3L Allison B500R6 Gen-IV	CNG	First Transit-Phoenix	These buses have the new color scheme and numbering font, but have smaller "Valley Metro" lettering compared to the 2007 D40LF buses. They have exactly the same specifications as the 2007 D40LFs, but have two rooftop air conditioning units. All of these buses are operated by First Transit and normally operate the busy Phoenix crosstown (east-west) routes (3, 17, 29, and 41). Buses 8046-8050 were operated by Veolia-Phoenix South Division and normally appeared on the Red Line and route 70 until December 2008, when they were transferred back to First Transit with the elimination of the Red Line and the arrival of the 2008 D60LFs.
NABI 60-BRT	60'	2007	1461–1500 (40 buses)	Ford 6.8L Triton V10 Ford 4R100	CNG	MV Transportation-Phoenix, First Transit-Phoenix, and Veolia-Phoenix	These buses are all painted in the purple and white "Phoenix Neighborhood Circulator" color scheme. They have roll signs, hard gray forward-facing seats, a glossy white interior, and Route Scout. Buses 1461-1473 are operated by MV Transportation on the ALEX (Ahwatukee Local EXplorer) circulator route, buses 1474-1486 are operated by First Transit on the MARY (Maryvale Area Ride for You) circulator route, and buses 1487-1500 are operated by Veolia-Phoenix on the SMART (Sunnyslope Multi-access Area Residential Transit) circulator route.
New Flyer XN40	40'	2008	6597-6647 (51 buses)	Cummins-Westport ISL-G 8.9L ZF Ecomat 4 6HP594C	CNG	First Transit-RPTA	These buses have their rear door located 2 windows behind their front door, like the 2007 D40LFs (and unlike the 2006 C40LFRs and 2007 D40LFRs). All seats in the low-floor section are lengthwise, and the seats are identical to those on the 2006 C40LFRs and 2007 D40LFRs 6453-6456 (USSC "Aries" seats without headrests). These are the first buses in the Valley Metro fleet to use push-buttons for stop request, as well as being the first buses since 1995 to have stop request tape (in the driver's side of the low-floor section only). These buses also have smooth white walls (as opposed to the corrugated walls on the 2006 C40LFRs and 2007 D40LFRs) and attractive, energy-efficient LED interior lighting as well (note that buses 6617 and higher have a different type of LED lighting than buses 6597-6616). These buses replaced the remaining 1994 D40LF buses operating for the RPTA, allow for the transfer of some of the 2007 D40LFRs to Valu Trans to facilitate express service expansion, and allow for the "supergrid" upgrade of routes 61 and 96. These buses were also part of a joint order for the Atlanta MARTA system like the 2006 C40LFRs. Buses 6597-6616 entered service on June 12, 2008, while buses 6617 and higher entered service on July 28, 2008. All of these buses were originally operated only by Veolia-RPTA, but buses 6633-6647 were transferred to Veolia-Tempe in December 2008 in exchange for buses 6401-6410. The Tempe-operated buses are still owned by the RPTA and were generally only used on RPTA-funded routes 72 and 81, however, since 2011 these buses now operate throughout the Tempe system. In late July 2013, all of these buses have been transferred to the Tempe facility as part of the unification of Tempe bus operations with the RPTA. These buses do not have the electric fan engine cooling feature present in the 2006 and 2009 and later C40LFRs, rather these buses use a hydraulic-drive cooling system.
New Flyer C40LF	60'	2008	8051-8064 (14 buses)	Cummins ISL 8.9L Allison B500R6 Gen-IV	Diesel	Veolia-Phoenix	These buses are nearly identical to the 2007 D60LFs but feature external cameras in addition to the internal cameras that are found on most Valley Metro buses. The license plates of these buses are also slightly different. Inside, the buses feature stickers on the front side windows that denote the priority seating areas (like the 2006 C40LFRs and 2007 D40LFRs), and the articulated joint area has a gray color rather than a cream color. They also have a Cummins ISL engine instead of a Caterpillar C9. Unlike the 2008 C40LFRs these buses do not have LED interior lighting. These buses can be found on north-south routes in Phoenix, such as the 7, 12, 15, 19, 44, and 70.
NABI 65-BRT	62'	2008	8511-8520 (10 buses)	Cummins ISL 8.9L ZF Ecomat 4 6HP604C-NBS	Diesel	First Transit-RPTA	Valley Metro is the first agency to order this bus type (with a straight diesel engine as opposed to a hybrid engine) along with the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority and Lane Transit District (who both ordered hybrids), and these buses are options from the Cleveland order. These buses are used on both Valley Metro LINK arterial bus rapid transit service routes along Main Street and Arizona Avenue/Country Club Drive. These buses were the first to display the new Valley Metro logo and have a different color scheme from the rest of the fleet (silver and purple). These buses are the first in the fleet to have sealed, frameless windows as well. These buses have a similar interior to the 2008 C40LFRs, but with head rests on the seats, new flooring, new gray-purple seat cushions made from recycled water bottles, and light gray paneling. They also provide wireless Internet access.
New Flyer XN40	40'	2009	6648-6668 (21 buses)	Cummins-Westport ISL-G 8.9L ZF Ecomat 4 6HP594C	CNG	First Transit-RPTA	These buses are similar to the 2008 units, with differences including large yellow wheelchair symbol decals on the floors by the wheelchair securement areas, external cameras, as well as diffused lenses for the interior lighting, which give the LED lighting a more uniform appearance than on the 2008 C40LFRs. Also, these buses returned to using EMP Mini-Hybrid electric fans for cooling the engine like the 2006 C40LFRs (and unlike the 2008 C40LFRs). All of these buses were operated from the RPTA Mesa facility until late July 2013 when 6648-6658 were moved to the Tempe facility as part of the unification of Tempe transit operations with the RPTA. Units 6667 and 6668 are painted in a new paint scheme (base silver with green and purple striping) which was to be a tryout for new Valley Metro imaging,^[1] and have purple/gray seat cloths instead of blue.
NABI 42-BRT	40'	2010	6669-6675 (7 buses)	Cummins-Westport ISL-G 8.9L ZF Ecomat 4 6HP594C	CNG	First Transit-RPTA	These buses are owned by the City of Tempe and operated for Veolia-Tempe until July 1, 2013 when the City of Tempe unified its bus operations with the RPTA. Unit 6669 features a different new livery, similar to that of 6667-6668 but with a green front (6670-6675 have the 2006 livery with the fleet numbers in a different and smaller font). Inside, they have the same seating configuration as the 2009 C40LFR's, however the interior colors have been completely redesigned. They have new teal and green seat covers, and lighter floors. This batch also has pull-cords instead of stop buttons and touch tapes. Also, unlike prior New Flyer C40LFRs and D40LFRs which have TwinVision head, side, and rear destination signs, black window frames and curved window doors; this batch has Luminator destination signs, silver window frames and squared window doors.
NABI 40C	40'	2010	7001-7009 (9 buses)	Cummins ISL 8.9L ZF Ecomat 4 6HP594C-N	Diesel	First Transit-RPTA	Valley Metro is the first agency to order this bus type (with a straight diesel engine as opposed to a hybrid engine) along with Long Beach Transit and WMATA (who both ordered hybrids). These buses are used on the Valley Metro LINK arterial bus rapid transit service along Arizona Avenue/Country Club Drive, commonly seen during non-peak hours, with the D62LFA's now being used during peak hours. These buses, along with the 2008 D62LFAs, have a different color scheme from the rest of the fleet (silver and purple). These buses are the second in the fleet to have sealed, frameless windows as well. These buses have the same interior as the 2008 D62LFAs, with head rests on the seats, new flooring, new gray-purple seat cushions made from recycled water bottles, and light gray paneling. They feature a different, unknown engine configuration to the D62LFA's used on Valley Metro LINK service. Like the 2008 D62LFA's, they provide wireless Internet access.
MTS RTS	40'	2010	1-199	General Motors Duramax 6.6L LMM V8 Engine Allison 2200 PTS	Diesel	Ajo Transportation	These buses entered service in 2010. They operate route 685-Gila Bend Regional Connector service.
New Flyer C40LFR	40'	2011	6676-6697 (22 buses)	Cummins-Westport ISL-G 8.9L ZF Ecomat 4 6HP594C	CNG	First Transit-RPTA	These buses are owned by the City of Tempe and operated for Veolia-Tempe until July 1, 2013 when the City of Tempe unified its bus operations with the RPTA. They replaced several Tempe-operated NABI 35-LFW and 40-LFW buses built from 1998 to 2001. They all feature white Luminator LED destination signs, feature silver window frames and pull cords like the L40LFRs instead of black window frames and buttons/touch tape like the RPTA-owned C40LFRs, as well as the same green front livery as 6669. Buses are options off RPTA contract.
New Flyer XD40	60'	2011	8065-8081 (17 buses)	Cummins ISL9 9.0L Allison E^P50 Gen-IV Hybrid System	Diesel-electric Hybrid	First Transit-RPTA	These buses are owned by the City of Tempe and operated for Veolia-Tempe until July 1, 2013 when the City of Tempe unified its bus operations with the RPTA. They feature a modified version of the new color scheme, with a high visibility green front and metallic silver back. They use the same seating configuration as the D62LFA-BRTs, but use the newer interior seat cover designs and feature a gray interior color. These are the first coaches to feature Luminator white LED front, side and rear destination signs. Buses are a piggyback off ABQ RIDE options.
New Flyer XN40	40'	2012	6698-6713 (16 buses)	Cummins-Westport ISL-G 8.9L ZF Ecomat 4 6HP594C	CNG	First Transit-RPTA	These buses are owned by the City of Tempe and operated for Veolia-Tempe until July 1, 2013 when the City of Tempe unified its bus operations with the RPTA. They replaced several Tempe-operated NABI 35-LFW and 40-LFW buses built from 1998 to 2001. They are nearly identical to 6676-6697, except the interior LED sign is a multicolor LED sign instead of amber. Buses are options off RPTA contract.
New Flyer XN40	40'	2012	6714-6733 (20 buses)	Cummins-Westport ISL-G 8.9L ZF Ecomat 4 6HP594C	CNG	First Transit-RPTA	Replaced Nova RTS fleet. These buses have only one door and are in a suburban layout with highback reclining seats, luggage racks, reading lights, and Wi-Fi. Buses are equipped with Luminator Horizon White signs like the newest Tempe buses, however, they feature the same silver livery as 6667-6668, except with purple and red "Valley Metro Express" wording, and also feature frameless windows like the RPTA D62LFA and D40LFA buses. In late July 2013, these buses were moved to the Tempe garage as part of the unification of Tempe transit operations with the RPTA.
MTS RTS	40'	2013	1551-1584 (34 buses)	Ford 6.8L Triton V10 CNG Engine Ford 6R140	CNG	First Transit-RPTA	These buses are owned by the City of Tempe and are the first CNG buses to be used on the Tempe ORBIT, replacing the 2007-2008 ElDorado National Aerotech buses. Buses are options off RPTA contract.
ElDorado Aerotech	29'	2013	4505-4508 (4 buses)	Cummins ISB6.7 Allison H 40 EP Gen-V Hybrid System	Gas	Ollie the Trolley	These buses were purchased by the RPTA for the City of Scottsdale, and are a piggyback off options of the Florida Consortium led by Lynx in Orlando. Buses are painted in a trolley look, but do not have the full Gillig Trolley Replica package. Unlike most Valley Metro buses, these buses have the wheelchair ramp at the front door. The windows are more tinted than standard. Seats are the American Seating Vision model, and destination signs are Luminator Horizon amber LED signs. Also, like the 2008-2009 RPTA-owned New Flyer C40LFRs (and unlike the Tempe-owned C40LFRs and L40LFRs), these buses feature stop request buttons and touch tapes. These buses are not presently equipped with Route Scout, however, they include provisions for an interior LED sign above the windshield, which hints that the system may be installed in the future.
El Dorado Aerotech	35'	2013	4509-4514 (6 buses)	Cummins ISB6.7 Allison H 40 EP Gen-V Hybrid System	Biodiesel-electric hybrid	Ollie the Trolley	These buses were purchased by the RPTA for the City of Scottsdale, and are a piggyback off options of the Florida Consortium led by Lynx in Orlando. Buses are painted in a trolley look, but do not have the full Trolley Replica package. Besides length, specs are otherwise identical to 4505-4508.
New Flyer XN30	29'	2013	4501-4504 (4 buses)	Cummins ISB6.7 Allison H 40 EP Gen-V Hybrid System	Biodiesel-electric hybrid	Ollie the Trolley	These buses were purchased by the RPTA for the City of Scottsdale, and are a piggyback off options of the Florida Consortium led by Lynx in Orlando. Unlike buses 4505-4514, these buses have the full Trolley Replica package with a functioning bell. Features are otherwise similar to 4505-4514.
El Dorado Aerotech	25'	2013	1585-1588 (4 buses)	Ford 6.8L Triton V10 Engine Ford 6R140	Gasoline	First Transit-RPTA	These buses are owned by the RPTA and operate the Downtown Mesa BUZZ circulator route, replacing the StarTrans and ElDorado cutaways built in 2005. Unlike the Tempe ORBIT buses which have CNG engines, these buses have gasoline engines.
New Flyer XN40	40'	2013	6734-6749 (16 buses)	Cummins-Westport ISL-G 8.9L ZF Ecomat 4 6HP594C	CNG	First Transit-RPTA	These buses are owned by the City of Tempe and were ordered to replace all remaining Tempe-owned NABI 35/40-LFW LNG buses built in 1998-2002. These buses have their fleet numbers in a bolder font from the 2011 and 2012 Tempe-owned C40LFRs. These buses are also the first Tempe-owned buses to be equipped with Wi-Fi. Strangely, these buses have the older style advertisement racks like the 2010 L40LFRs, instead of the newer style like on the 2011-2012 C40LFRs. Buses are options off RPTA contract.
New Flyer XN40	40'	2014	5001-5120 (120 buses)	Cummins-Westport ISL-G 8.9L Allison B400R6 Gen-V	CNG	First Transit-Phoenix, Veolia-Phoenix	These are the newest buses for the City of Phoenix. They are the first new buses for the City of Phoenix since the 2008 D60LFs, the first buses for Phoenix to feature the New Flyer Restyled ends, and the first CNG buses for the City of Phoenix. These buses replaced most of the 1998 Phoenix NABI 40-LFW buses. These buses are options from the RPTA contract, however, unlike the C40LFRs owned by the RPTA and the City of Tempe, these buses have Allison transmissions instead of ZF. These buses also feature a mostly white livery with a wide purple and thin green swoosh wrapping around the front of the bus, a silver roof with the City of Phoenix insignia towards the front of the bus and the Valley Metro logo towards the rear, and white CNG tanks. Destination signs are Luminator Horizon White, and passenger seats are USSC Aries. These buses are assigned to the First Transit West Division and (since March 2014) the Veolia North Division.
ElDorado National EZ Rider II	30'	2014	DD1-DD8 (8 buses)	International MaxxForce 7 6.4L Allison 1000 5-Speed	Diesel	Valu Trans	These buses entered service in late January 2014, and are used on the Avondale Zoom neighborhood circulator route. They replaced the smaller previous ElDorado National Aerotech buses, which were former East Valley Dial-A-Ride vehicles.

 |These buses are different from the 1998 Veolia-Phoenix 40-LFWs in the fact that they have Twin Vision LEDot signs, a slightly different front end, a wheelchair lift sign in the rear, slightly different flooring, TSI seating (rather than American Seating), and different speakers. Some of these buses have been rehabilitated with the 2006 color scheme, new windows, and new seat cushions. By the end of 2011, one bus in this group (6236) had been retired..
